From the Garage Sale Cookbooks of Dickinson

Here's the disclaimer folks: I am making fun of Midwest cuisine. If you don't like it, don't read it. While living in North Dakota I have come across many a dish I find enjoyable. However, for each one I like there are more I would never consider making, eating, etc. Hence my periodic blog posts sharing the lovely cuisine of Dickinson garage sale cookbooks.

First for you all: Tiger Meat (no not from tigers). Pretty much it's raw hamburger on a cracker. I get it that some fancy restaurants serve beef carpaccio but I can honestly tell you I probably wouldn't eat that either and as some might say "don't knock it till you've tried it," I am knocking it anyway because to me it sounds SICK (not the good kind of sick). So for your reading pleasure from this cook book's appetizer and dip section:

Q: "Oh this book is from 93-94? Haven't things changes up there since then?"

A: "Well yes they have, we have more oil production and things are a lot more expensive, but otherwise it's still pretty much 1985 cuisine save for the fact you can buy greek yogurt and agave nectar at Walmart."
